Digital testing kit can give results in under 1 hour, this could be a game changer as well. Lots of ‘Game changing’ developments coming at the moment.

Football clubs should buy a load and test everyone coming in the grounds. If you're ill you don't come in

Only 48 deaths reported today in Spain and around 400 new cases, seems the easing of lockdown has made little to no impact on the rapid decline there either. Great to see two wonderful countries like Spain and Italy coming out of this now.
‘Starting Monday, 53% of Spain’s population, including those in the country's two biggest cities, will be able to sit at outdoor bar and restaurant terraces, attend gatherings of up to 10 people and go to houses of worship.
The rest of the country will operate with even more relaxed measures on Monday. In those places, cinemas, indoor restaurants, and malls will open with limited capacity.’

Cricket back on at our club. Netting only obviously and only two nets so people are kept apart. 1 hour booked sessions and only 50 mins play so any area touched can be sanitised.
But it = very happy child.
This is the kind of thing that should make kids happy, rather than queuing for a KFC. [MENTION=13]CHAPPERS[/MENTION]

I went to the garden centre today, which was well marked out for queueing, limiting the number inside, trolleys sterilised, screens for the checkouts, and everyone (except one stubborn man) keeping out of the aisles when one person was getting something.
As my husband has been doing all the shopping, it was a refreshing change to be able to go out and buy something. Everyone was good natured, smiling and friendly.

Great news
Apparently only 634 new in cases recorded in London over the last 14 days, with a population of pushing 10m that’s quite remarkable.
Is this virus burning itself out in the same way SARS did ?

It just doesn’t make sense, does it? Even with social distancing, for such low levels of the virus to be in such a massive, densely populated city as London is absolutely remarkable given how things were just six or seven weeks ago.
I took very little interest in biology at school, and I know next to nothing about how our immune systems work in practice or what t-cells are - I literally had never heard on them since yesterday. But joining the dots, it’s hard not to believe that there must be some truth in the theory that large swathes of the population have some level of immunity due to past exposure to other coronaviruses, and that’s what’s causing the numbers to simply fizzle out to a level of insignificance. If it is true, we may all get much of our lives back sooner than thought.
Is that just mindless optimism or wishful thinking? Possibly, but there are others far more qualified than I who seem to be leaning that way...

As you say, makes no logical sense whatsoever, what we are seeing in London right now. Nor the complete lack of any second wave being detected in any country.
Perhaps a combination of a higher level of immunity - via other means - and the virus doing what viruses can do, mutating into a weaker form and potentially fizzling out slowly.
